a blustery day

It was quite a nasty day outside yesterday, but I tried to grab a few shots of my outfit. This was just a work outfit. I didn't feel like wearing my typical work t-shirt and jeans combo, so I grabbed this skirt due to its espresso color. I figured if coffee got on it, it wouldn't matter since it was brown anyways. I can't wait until I don't have to wear leggings. I'm kind of getting sick of them. Spring come faster! I long for your warm days and bare legs!

So, here's something sort of funny. Since moving to Tacoma, I've gone back to going by "Libby," since this is what Dan knows me by. I met Dan five years ago in college and when I started college I decided to change my name from Liz, which I went by all through elementary and high school, to Libby. After college I decided to just go by Elizabeth, since I realized that I really love my full name. But since every one already kind of knew me by "Libby" here in Tacoma (from Dan telling them about me, or by him introducing me to them), I've sort of ended up going back to being Libby. What I've started realizing, though, is that when I try to say my name is "Libby," a lot of people hear "Olivia." Haha! Part of me just doesn't want to correct them. I don't actually mind the name Olivia. I feel like I don't have much attachment to any name, other than my full given name, so whatever name people want to call me I'm okay with. Often people will ask me what name I prefer and I have a hard time answering that question because I don't really have a preference! I guess I prefer Elizabeth, but whatever! Maybe I should just start going by Olivia. I think it's kind of funny to have so many names that I go by. Liz, Libby, Olivia, Livvy, Elizabeth. Whatever! A rose by any other name... actually, I don't like roses. A Daffodil by any other name. That's better...

I gave you all

Yesterday was nice and relaxing. I spent the morning hanging out with Dan, watching TV on Hulu and just chilling out, then I went home and got cozy with some soup and Mumford & Sons. Then in the evening Dan and I went over to watch open mic, though this time I hadn't prepared anything to perform. Maybe next week. It was nice to just chill and listen. I work all weekend so I pretended that yesterday was my weekend.

This dress is one of my favorite dresses to wear. Since getting it in December I've probably worn it around seven times. It's so comfortable it's basically like wearing pajamas, and for some reason it's really fun to remix. I don't think I've worn it the same way twice ever so far. I can't wait until the temperatures start to warm up because I can just tell this dress is going to be a perfect summer dress!

I got these boots in the mail the other day and felt like a kid on Christmas ripping open the packaging. Okay, well, I'm like that every time I get any sort of mail (that isn't junkmail or bills). When I was getting dressed and contemplating what shoes to pair with this dress that would be practical as the snow lingers, I looked over and these boots practically leapt onto my feet! I love that you can fold them down and have the cute floral interior show. It just happens to match my dress exactly. Serendipitous!

snow day!

It snowed yesterday!!! It's been dumping huge flakes the past couple days and I'm so excited! I really love snow pictures and I haven't had any since last winter in Alaska. I had so much fun playing around in the snow. Since it's still pretty warm here it's the perfect snowball-making snow!
A bunch of friends had the day off of work yesterday because of the snow-day, so we all decided to brave the cold and snow to go on a bicycle booze cruise! We ended up getting to about 5 places and then it turned into a pub crawl because the temperatures dropped and the roads pretty much turned to ice. It was lovely walking my bike home in the chilly, clear night though. I love the sound of icy snow crunching beneath boots and holding hands with mittens. I think I'll always have a dear place in my heart for those frigid nights, even if they are awfully cold. You can take the girl out of Alaska...

Since today is another gorgeous sunny day, I'm thinking I might just spend the day sipping on warm, cozy beverages and keeping bundled up. After all, that's what days like this are for, right? I kind of wish I could just take a blanket to my favorite coffee shop and curl up on the couch all day. Hmmm, maybe I will...

Before I head out and enjoy another beautiful, snowy day I wanted to let you in on a sweet deal brought to you by one of my awesome sponsors, A Wild Tonic! You can get 25% off any purchase at A Wild Tonic using the code "TACKY25."
